Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)
Upside potential weighted against forecast uncertainty. Higher RAU = better risk-reward profile.
Understanding Risk-Adjusted Upside (RAU)

Roster Pressure Index (RPI)
Squad depth pressure based on Z-score distribution. Negative RPI = thin depth, positive = deep roster.
What This Shows
Z-Score explained: Measures how many standard deviations a player's strength is from the position average. Z-Score = 0 means average, +1.0 is one standard deviation above average, -1.0 is below average.
How to use: RPI < -1.0 indicates critical depth shortage. These positions need immediate reinforcement. RPI > +1.0 suggests strong depth, allowing selective, high-value additions only.
Current market: young left winger position shows weak depth (avg Z-score: -0.00). RPI: -0.00.

Age-Share Concentration (ASC)
Identifies players capturing disproportionate value relative to age group representation. Positive ASC = value concentration.
Understanding Age-Share Concentration (ASC)
Heracles Almelo's Naci Ünüvar in the 21-23 age bracket has the highest Age-Share Concentration at +-6.0%. That means Mika Godts captures 79.0% of total market value while representing only 85.0% of players in their age group-showing dominant elite status.
In second is SC Heerenveen's Luca Oyen with a +-6.0% ASC (79.0% value share vs 85.0% player share in 21-23 bracket). Third is Noam Emeran of FC Groningen with a +-6.0% ASC (79.0% value vs 85.0% players in 21-23 bracket).
How ASC is calculated: ASC = (% of total value) - (% of total players) in age bracket. A +-6.0% ASC means the player captures -6.0% more market value than their numerical representation-indicating marquee status. ASC > +15% = elite dominance, ASC < -15% = potential value targets.
